Headline: A Taste of the Bayou Arrives in Battle Creek: Welcoming Stewie’s Cajun Foods to Lakeview Square Mall

DATELINE: BATTLE CREEK, MI — December 16, 2025

Battle Creek’s food scene just got a significant injection of flavor and soul.

 

Today marked the official grand opening and ribbon-cutting ceremony for Stewie’s Cajun Foods, the newest addition to the Lakeview Square Mall food court.

 

While the storefront is new to Battle Creek, the flavors are already beloved in the region.

 

Stewie’s traces its roots to Kalamazoo, where they built a loyal following not as a sit-down restaurant, but as purveyors of authentic packaged goods.

 

They earned their reputation on the quality of their "Louisiana Gourmet Cajun Cracklins" and proprietary mild and hot spice blends, previously available only in select local markets.

 

This new mall location represents an exciting shift for the business, moving from retail shelves to serving hot, made-to-order meals. The expansion brings true Louisiana flavor right to Beckley Road.

 

The new menu boards promise a comforting array of Cajun and soul food classics.

 

Diners can look forward to hearty Catfish and Chicken Po’ Boys, savory Red Beans & Rice, slow-cooked greens, and rich Oxtail & Lamb Stew.

 

Perhaps most intriguing is the inclusion of Haitian Mac & Cheese, a creamy, baked Caribbean variation of the comfort classic that is sure to become a local favorite.

 

The arrival of a unique, locally-owned eatery like Stewie’s is a major win for Lakeview Square Mall.

 

There is a strong hope among locals that Stewie’s investment in the space signals the beginning of a revitalization trend, encouraging other diverse small businesses to set up shop and breathe new energy into the mall corridors.

 

We warmly welcome Stewie’s Cajun Foods to the Battle Creek business community and encourage everyone to head to the mall for a taste of the deep south.
